Girard Perregaux

Hope everyone had a good weekend. A few days ago, I posted the blue dial variant. Today, I'm posting some pics of the anthracite grey dial. In person, the dial is a sort of "tobacco grey"... A beautiful color. Note that the dial is clean. Applied indices,...  

I also like how the polished surfaces of the bezel and pushers play against the brushed surface of the case. Ditto the bracelet brushed / polished interplay. A very nice GP chronograph! Thanks for sharing.

I don’t think there’s significant time/cost implications. Instead, brands often seem to keep all of the nicest features for LE pieces. I guess there’s an underlying strategy to this approach.
